Carissa Moore talks to Zach Weisberg at The Inertia about sex appeal, competition, love, and happiness. This interview is part of (HEADSPACE), a new film series that takes viewers inside the minds of surfing’s most influential figures.

Francesca “Frankie” Seely is a stellar surfer from Malibu, California. She is consistently earning first place trophies for both longboarding and short boarding. She recently took first place in the WSA West Coast Championship as well as the NSSA (National Scholastic Surfing Association). It is no wonder that Frankie holds sponsorship from Billabong, Becker, and others. She is currently starring on Awesomeness TV’s new web-series “Surfers,” which follows the lives of a group of Malibu teens as they navigate through relationships, plan for the future, and catch some perfect California waves. This Malibu High School senior has her sights set on college and going pro.

Best place I’ve surfed: El Salvador is my favorite place because of the perfect right hand point breaks with only a hand full of people out. The waves are usually overhead and the water is a warm beautiful blue. The people are so great there!

Thirty years ago, a group of surfers from Malibu, California, took action to fight the environmental health risks associated with escalating coastal development. Since its inception in 1984, the Surfrider Foundation has evolved into one of the largest nonprofit grassroots organizations dedicated to protecting and enjoying the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches.

To celebrate, they have launched the organization’s first-ever timeline and an opportunity for the public to submit a design for their 2015 membership tee.
